Hello, I'm trying to determine if there is a way to increase the character limit for the auto response part of Plus. i have read a few posts about character limits, but those were mostly for pasting into a chat window.

Basically i just want to create more away messages then the character limit allows me to do.  So i could do an infinite amount of:

#Sorry, I'm away.
#Yah, I'm still away

etc... Any ideas from any one on this?

i also want to know if this is posible

There is indeed a limit for the auto-response. Though the limit should be high enough for basic use.

If you want an "unlimited" amount of sentences to reply with, then you need to create a script.

There might already be scripts out there which does exactly that though; providing a more elaborate auto-response system. Search the scripting database for it, or search the scripting subforum.

In fact, you could also combine the build-in auto-responder with a script since the build-in auto-responder can also respond with a command. And you can use the /script command to call a function from a script.

Putting those two together, you could create a rather small script which does nothing more than providing you a random sentence (out of thousands) just by calling its function with the /script command.

Example:

jscript code:

---

function RandomAwayMessage() {
    var Quotes = [
        "Sorry, I'm away.",
        "I'm sooo away",
        "I'm not here",
        "Gone..."
    ];
    return Quotes[Math.floor(Quotes.length*Math.random())];
}
